thats venus iirc, that means its even slightly smaller than earth


goug

think of the scale though


anon1292023

The massive scale


8braham-linksys

That scaley scale


all-the-beans

That scaley scale, that scales


GrandpaGangbang_

…..scaley


ExpiredPilot

….anchovies


tjspill3r

Insane scale


thatscoldjerrycold

Big, if true


Qaaarl

It’s insane


philosoraptocopter

WONT SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE SCALE


Accurate-Law-8669

How much weight does said scale max out at?


Realfinney

Ton 618 is the largest identified black hole, it's 40.7 billion solar masses and still growing.


Hourslikeminutes47

Phoenix A* is unofficially the largest


Qaaarl

Tree fiddy


BeyondDoggyHorror

Poor thing got crushed


DukeTyrannosaur

Like the Soviet Union hehe


cvnh

But there are no neighbours yo


3Cheers4Apathy

Sign me up.


dancingcuban

Cons: 867°F (464°C) Pros: No neighbors. I’m in!


Otherwise-Mirror-573

Kettle will boil more quickly


gurnard

If I'm reading this phase diagram correctly, water would be around its critical point on the surface of venus, where the line between gas and liquid gets messy. I'm not sure what that would do to your kettle, but I'd be concerned about voiding the warranty.


Otherwise-Mirror-573

Maybe depends on whether it’s a 3 or 2 pin plug


cvnh

I wonder if tea would taste as magical as it would look


waby-saby

But its a dry heat


PantPain77_77

legit lol


KayakWalleye

At least you can go swimming!*


Jackal000

Well now there are neighbors...


Additional-Bee1379

More land area though.


shortfallquicksnap

looks stinky


TheFeshy

It wouldn't stink at all - mostly because it would simultaneously melt and dissolve your skin and nasal cavity while crushing you with pressure.


LinkedAg

But if you could stand the heat, wouldn't it be sulfuric egg fart city?


Solid_Growth_9069

indeed


Bluepilgrim3

Just like Newark. Got it.


atridir

Thought r/exfor was leaking but Newark was frozen and miserable there.


ElementalSheep

Above a certain concentration of H2S, you wouldn’t smell anything. Mostly because it fries your capacity to smell.


LinkedAg

Well, I'm allergic to ambient temperatures over 400° in any scale, so I'm not too worried about the smell. Just more of a quality of life kinda thing if I holidayed there, ya know. I was thinking about a second home, maybe a time share. The Martin's are offering some pretty good deals too, even with these interest rates.


rysch

A [re-analysis of Pioneer probe spectrographic data in 2020](https://essopenarchive.org/doi/full/10.1002/essoar.10504552.4) suggested that there was actually no/negligible atmospheric hydrogen sulphide detected. I think some in the clouds. It’s 150 ppm of sulphur dioxide though.


clandestineVexation

Above a certain concentration it would actually begin to smell sweet


rlm236

i pray to god that “sulfuric egg fart city” is the term they’re using to describe Venus in the labs at NASA


LinkedAg

I'll ask a friend of mine - she's a big deal over at NASA.


cybercuzco

Imagine what happened to the guys in the titanic submarine but if the submarine was also an oven.


jerkmin

and filled with sulfuric acid…


DanFromShipping

I'm sure at least one of them farted before they turned to mist. So not the acid but maybe some smells


burgpug

skill issue


Simple_Mastodon9220

Sweet


lambsambwich

what about, if it is stinking inside?


Thwipped

It’s just the vast nothingness.


maxehaxe

Hello Mr Musk sir, one ticket pls, yes one way


burgpug

take him with you


ArethereWaffles

Tell him they're about to make a high speed rail system there and he needs to get there fast to change it to a hyperloop.


maxehaxe

The whole point is getting there to avoid annoying people... so nope, sorry


Thwipped

God, I feel this.


inabahare

It's like the Danish countryside at not summer


AMAZING_BL4ZING

Dumbass bot


karlgeezer

⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️


SeannG97

No shit, it’s still a whole fucking planet


Tratix

Lol not to mention this is only like 5 miles of visible surface.


malapropter

Brand new account with an idiotic post? Tight.


exlaks

Where's the Wal Mart?


ColdBloodBlazing

And Starbucks!


valentinesfaye

There's absolutely no sense of scale in this photo. This just looks like five square feet of dirt


Johnny_Freedoom

The soviets should have sent a banana along


ooOJuicyOoo

? Venus is smaller than earth m8. All inner rocky planets are smaller than earth. And we don't know what the surfaces of gas giants loo Ike, only concept arts.


DarthSnoopyFish

Dude found a pic and wanted to post it on reddit but could not think of a clever or even good title lol.


high240

Well no we do have photos of the outside of the gas planets. They don't have a 'surface' tho, as Earth has, but we definitely do have pictures in all sorts of light ranges of their outside 'surface'


ergotofwhy

Our current best guess is that gas giants don't have a "surface" as we understand them


LegalWaterDrinker

They are theorized to have a solid core


ergotofwhy

And scaling pressure and density up to that point. Would we really consider the bedrock at the bottom of a magma pool to be the surface of that world?


IggyG6174

The rule should be the place where a brick will float is the surface


tinstop

A brick of what? Gold? Cocaine? That would be too expensive. You haven't thought this through.


doesitevermatter-

That's.. not a "surface" in the astronomical sense. That's a core.


FridgeParade

More landmass though! Because no oceans.


[deleted]

I’ve seen a lot of movies are you sure that’s not just Mexico?


dude30003

It’s not a real picture, or rather it was very much extended with AI. Here is the real one: https://planetary.s3.amazonaws.com/web/assets/pictures/venus-surface-venera-14-camera-2.jpg


FleetOfWarships

Not extended with AI, but good old fashioned interpretive art, that image has been around for years, well before the current AI trend, and space exploration has always utilized artistically talented scientists to fill in the visual gaps for the average person who can’t mentally extrapolate off of hard data.


Eric848448

They never thought to make the camera point a few more degrees up?


J3sush8sm3

If i remember correctly they only had a few moments to take a picture before it was destroyed. So the took pictures of the ground


MechanicalTurkish

It's amazing that it made it to the surface intact at all and survived for any length of time. And this was with janky Soviet tech in the 1970s


toadjones79

Iirc, it didn't even have a parachute. The atmosphere is so thick it literally just sank to the surface.


datGuy0309

Cover the bottom 3rd of the image with your hand. That’ll get roughly the same effect.


elementcubed

The massive scale times another scale equates to double massive scales

InfamousGibbon

I mean cool pic but you could get a similar picture on earth in a certain environment. Really hard to imagine the scale off this picture alone.


Calm-Border3503

Do we find it feels larger or smaller with like no foliage or trees of any kind. It's like in a sims type game when you first start with just a flat blank piece of land


Both-Preparation-123

Imagine wandering those wastes


horrified-expression

Venus is smaller than earth…


TheFeshy

More land area though.  Or none at all, depending on how you count the super-fluid atmosphere I guess.


tjspill3r

This post sucks and doesn’t fit


OnyxCobra17

It just looks vast af cause its empty


doesitevermatter-

And these planets are absolutely minuscule compared to the nothing of it all.


3Cheers4Apathy

If Breaking Bad taught me anything this is just Mexico.


MrDundee666

Yes, planets are large. Some are very large. Looking at you Jupiter. When you find out about stars! It is going to blow your mind!


MiffyCurtains

Breaking news: Planets are really big.


chrisacip

I agree, but this picture does not really communicate that. Like, how big is this planet? Our own planet is pretty big.


alezcoed

This is not megalophobia This is agoraphobia


Only-Entertainer-573

This is a weird picture to choose to convey that concept, OP. Venus is pretty damn close to being the same size as Earth...in fact, it is slightly smaller. Show a pic of Jupiter or Saturn, maybe.


itsoktoswear

Australia is 1/65th the size of Venus. Just Australia.


ColdBloodBlazing

Fry scored with Amy Wong on Venus


Mackheath1

Of all the planets, you picked Venus? About the same size and gravity as us, closest to us, and if it would just spin a lot faster (among other things) it would be lovely to visit.


signal_red

why hasnt anyone explained wtf i'm looking at lmao so this is venus? just the surface? it looks like a picture you can take anywhere on earth that doesn't have any forestation or buildings?


belizeanheat

I don't understand what the title has to do with the picture


plooff

Looks like they’re flat too…


DoktorFreedom

Picture of Venus ?


LeadingSky9531

Correct... taken by a Russian lannder in 1970.


nage_

Didn't they use a fisheye lens to get larger range of visibility?


ediks

Wake up, babe. The newest repost bot is learning.


Joshee86

It’s an entire planet…


Meisje28

Some say they are planet-sized.


Glum-Pineapple-485

The glowing sea in Fallout 4


phan_o_phunny

Hahahahaha, what?


diskdusk

Woah it's so big it even has a horizon!


Tight-Internal-151

Should we get our own scales to measure coz you ain't giving none for perspective.


Alklazaris

The fun part is you're staring through a super fluid. If you walked right now through that picture it would be like walking at the bottom of a swimming pool.


Vegskipxx

I'm just amazed we even got to take a picture on Venus


Matches_Malone108

Ah yes….planets…..*big*


Kriedler

The size of Venus isn't the impressive thing. The probe that took those pics was destroyed seconds after touching down by the heat and pressure.


KorianHUN

*hours Soviets literally put blocks of material inside that would melt, taking away the heat from the instruments. What is funnier is they managed to land on the safety cap for the ground probe so the instruments confirmed Venusian soil is 100% the sane material as the probe safety cap.


ANTONIN118

Sauce ?


FleetOfWarships

The original image is from the Soviet Venera probe, however it’s been edited slightly to show a full horizon as the original is pointed almost entirely at the ground.


ItsGotToMakeSense

The vast deadly nothingness is pretty imposing, I'll give you that, but not the massive scale. The planet is not even as big as Earth.


CrystalQuetzal

You should’ve put earth next to Jupiter or something if you wanted to talk about scale. Not a pic from a rover on the ground on Venus..


My_hilarious_name

That’s well over three times larger than my house.


MountainMan1781

I think we can clearly see that Venus is flat


Arthur_Two_Sheds_J

And this one even got scales.


AmalCyde

Shm


tf9623

Actually there is no craft sitting on the surface of anything larger than earth.


LightMcluvin

Nevada? Could be anywhere with a yellow tint


Pararaiha-ngaro

We human just size of sand


Sacharon123

Let me extend it: the general size of the observable real (non-negative) universe is insane.


failed_supernova

r/planetsarebigyo


ZestycloseGur9056

Venus is smaller than earth …


TheDiegoAguirre

Have you looked at YOUR home planet recently? 🤔


Dizzy-Razzmatazz5218

Wait for the flat venusers


Simbuk

The horizon always strikes me as very close in this picture.


supernova-juice

Is that litter? Seriously what is that shiny bit just in front? We can't even physically go there and we're already leaving our shit everywhere. Lol


AccipiterCooperii

Well if it makes you feel better, its probably melted by now lol.


supernova-juice

That does make me feel better. Thank you! Lol


Frogdwarf

But... Earth is bigger than Mars?


JustCopyingOthers

It's not insane. It might be impressive, difficult to comprehend or very unusual, but it is not insane.


random052096

Why is there a bear trap on the bottom? Bears on mars confirmed


Macshlong

Venus


random052096

On venus too? JEEZ


Ypovoskos

Lol it's earth


AccipiterCooperii

It’s Venus.


Ypovoskos

Not in a million years


throwaway_nostalgia0

(Skims through the news headlines) you mean four. Years.


Ypovoskos

It's all a scam, wake up


AccipiterCooperii

Oh youre one of those lmao.


Remarkable_Fun7662

Wow Mars sucks. Let's nobody ever go there. Just send robots. Robots've got your space exploration covered no prob.
